LIMITLESS is the Second book in the LESS THAN ZERO Series and I would highly recommend reading these books in order as they run parallel and it will create spoilers as well as some confusion if you haven't read ENDLESS first.

I listened to the audiobook of the ENDLESS a few days ago and as soon as I finished writing my review for that book I dove into this one. Alexander Cendese and CJ Bloom did an amazing job with bringing Jace and Alex to life, they really added so much to the story I would definitely recommend listening to the audiobook if you have the option to do so.

When the story starts off Alex and her BFF, Zoey, are seniors in high school and go to see LESS THAN ZERO at The Mission, a club that allows people of all ages in to listen to the bands that play there. One look was all it too for Ty and Zoey to fall helplessly in love, with Jace and Alex it took a while longer, but in that time they developed a great friendship and it was fun to watch it grow into something more.

I have to say that I totally fell in love with Jace, he's the drummer of the band but he is also the caretaker of the guys as well. Jace is the one that everyone turns to when they have a problem but what happens when Jace has one of his own? Who does he have to turn to?

I really enjoyed this story and there are so many things going on I can't spill any of them for fear of spoiling the story for you. Just know that this is a great Rockstar Romance with a little bit of an age gap (7 years) and I would definitely recommend it to anyone that enjoys those tropes as well as Steamy New Adult Romances, and Friends to Lovers Romances.

Happy Reading!!!

My first instinct was to not read Limitless without having read the first book in the series, Endless. At the time the book released, I was able to promote it, but not read/review and this time around the same happened. I didn’t think I’d have the time so I went ahead and read Limitless first and loved it so much I went right into Endless but I’m nowhere near done yet LOL All of that is to just say these books can be read all on their own and you’ll be just fine (although Alex and Jace are part of the first book). Well that’s more words than I expected … *sorry*

So, Limitless, I’m not sure I can tell much about the storyline because I don’t want to give anything away. This book was a perfect blend of fun and emotional that I like to read about. This author has a brilliant imagination and powerful word wizardry. The dual POV gave the story a deeper perspective for me and allows for a fuller picture of their journey. I was ensnared in the plot and couldn’t stop reading. I loved every single character and can’t wait to jump back in to Endless very soon!

Shining stars!

Limitless is the soon to be released 2nd book in the fantastic Less Than Zero rockstar romance series by talented new author, Kaylene Winter. Book 1 in the series, Endless, begins with a bang and reveals a thoughtfully crafted backdrop of the bands history, setting the scene for LTZ's rise to the top. She blew me away with her angsty tale of first love, heartbreak and longing between lead singer, Ty Rainier and his soulmate, Zoey Pearson. How I loved that book and was floored that it was only her first one!!!! If you haven't read this story, go now and immerse yourself, because Limitless, coming in October, brings so much more dimension to the LTZ world and you won't want to miss one delicious moment.

Now, let me tell you about Limitless! I was dying to uncover the mysterious 'goings on' being teased, mostly behind the scenes, in Endless- it was driving me crazy..I needed to know all the juicy details..NOW! I spent all night and the following morning delving deep after its arrival...I could NOT put it down! Fell in love even more with these two as the main characters here- Alex LeRoux, sweet Zoey's bff- bubbly, witty, smart and that irresistibly hot drummer, Jace Devereaux- who she's had her eye on since the beginning of the series .

Jace brings on the heat with a killer combination of intelligence and talent, topped off with a heaping helping of humor and an easy, laid back charm. He has much more to offer than his sexy ways-Jace- the bands social media genius, masterfully creates the buzz that feeds the flame and along with their music, sets their chart topping future in motion. He's content to stay hidden in the background, playing hard and laying low- directing the attention to Ty's gorgeous voice, Zane's legendary guitar riffs and innate 'zaniness' along with Connor's rhythmic bass, allowing them to be the focus of the band.

Beautiful, independent Alex, has an effervescent spirit that shines like the sun- warm, lovely and hard to resist. Now, at 18, with high school in the rearview mirror, this stylish gypsy adventuress is dreaming big- her new career will allow her to travel the world and explore its possibilities, one country at a time, while digging deep into her passion for abused animals along the way. Alex has had her kind heart set on Jace from day one, but what can she do to persuade him to see her light before Paris calls out her name?

A special, unforgettable night forever lingers on in Alex and Jace's minds and far into their separate futures. Fate, with her weird taste for drama, draws them back in, if only to remind them of their scorching hot, burning and steamy but temporary connection that doesn't exist anywhere but when they're together. Stolen moments, only possible in their sweet, cozy secret bubble, are becoming more and more precious as time goes by. I howled with laughter at Alex's imaginative and stealthy talent for insuring that Ty and the guys didn't see her,(or those boots!) with Jace and wonder about the relationship between them. Was it a real one or just an undeniable attraction and nothing more? Will this all become too much when hearts are on the line?

These 2 books each had their own flavor, even with the main thread, begun in Endless, neatly tying them together and sharing many of the same uniquely different characters. One of the things I really enjoyed finding in Limitless, beyond Alex and Jace, who I adored without question, was how it showed the flipside of the events from the previous book, which were cleverly running parallel here. Witnessing Ty's emotional downfall in a new light and how it effected the whole band tore at my heart all over again. Jace's struggled with his own feelings as he worked so tirelessly to handle the fallout and still be the loyal and caring man he was, for Ty, but also for everyone else, it seemed. All the while, keeping his time with Alex along with his growing and ever present feelings for her to himself and away from his band brothers. There was enough drama already and part of it is all his.

Alex, Jace and their insiteful dual points of view, squeezed my heart to pieces and put me through the wringer, but their friendship, with its ups and downs, gave me hope. When lifes challenges seem too impossible to overcome, can they find their own illusive but well deserved love and happiness?

Counting down to the final pages of this book was a double edged sword- wanting to get that happy ending, but sad because the end would come too soon and there would be no more Jace and Alex, or Ty and Zoey, at least not until Fearless, featuring Connor, makes its appearance next. Thank goodness for that...let the Less Than Zero world start spinning again! I can't wait for more!!!

My thanks to author Kaylene Winter for providing me with this early review copy.

You should definitely read book one, Ty and Zoey's story, before you read this. Otherwise, you're in for a lot of spoilers, plus we meet Jace and Alex in the first book and get a glimpse into their relationship.

Most of this book takes place in the past, we see Jace and Alex meet and then have an on again/off again romance for ten years. They have intense chemistry and every time they meet up they click fit right back together like no time has passed. Unfortunately, their lives are going in different directions and neither is willing to give up their career so they can stay together. I liked that usually when they parted, it wasn't dramatic or angry, they knew that the timing wasn't right. They had to do their own things and bide their time until things lined up.

I like Alex, she's strong and knows what she wants. She loves Jace but doesn't pine over him or give up her dreams to be with him. Her disguises are funny and she charms most people she meets. Jace is an overthinker and pushes people away when he's upset. Lucky for him that Alex loves him enough to stay near and forgives him when he comes back around.

I would have liked this more if we bounced between past and present instead of eighty percent past and present only at the end. I did enjoy how Jace and Alex ended up, it was pretty adorable and suited them well.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

After I read Endless, which I absolutely loved, I didn't think Kaylene Winter could pull off a better rock star romance than that but she did! Limitless picks up the story of Jace and Alex where we only get a glimpse of what is happening between them in Endless.

Jace, Gawd! Where do I begin?! He is a talented drummer in a successful band, touring the world and living the rock star life. He is loyal, intense, sweet and sexy! Before he and the band became famous, he met Alex, best friend to Zoey from Endless. Alex who was only 18 at the time, had just graduated high school and was an Instagram influencer starting an adventure of a lifetime. Alex is a free spirit with a heart of gold. They had a little fling right before they both left to start their dreams and kept in contact via social media and texts, with the occasional meet up. They had a connection that defied time and distance. Through the next several years they are on again, off again and do a lot of growing up.

Their story was full off angst, drama and love. Fate brought them together but fame pulled them apart. You can't help but root for them because it was so clear that they belonged together. Their journey to happily ever after was a roller coaster ride that you don't want to miss!

Admittedly I liked this book much more than the first in this series. Jace and Alex were a believable couple given the situation and their FWB relationship was indeed hot. In the same breath however their hotness is what brought the book down for me. Sex IS essential in a great rock story, sorry but it's a fact that rock stars are the ultimate fantasy and besides musical creativity, sexiness is the draw but when it becomes the same old, same old scene is where you lose me. I very rarely skip sex scenes, except when they are wash, rinse, repeat. I liked them better separately by the end of the book than the sex-on-the-brain couple they were reduced to.

Winter is the best author I have yet to discover. Limitless smothers with emotion. Jace and Alex grab hold of the heart early on and refuse to relinquish their hold. Never have I felt so much.

To say that I love this phenomenal rockstar romance is an understatement and I hope that this review does the book justice! Limitless put me through a roller coaster of emotions and Jace & Alex’s story is truly something special. I was so immersed in this tantalizing, engaging, and sexy romance that I was loathe to put it down to do things like sleep and eat. It is difficult to believe that Limitless is only this author’s second book as her talented storytelling captured my attention immediately and her writing continues to wow me with the expertly executed story complete with well developed characters and a well flushed out plot. Limitless will leave you laughing, crying, swooning, more crying, dreamily sighing along with fanning yourself as these two characters embark on their journey!

If you happened to have read Endless, the first book in the Less Than Zero series, then you know that this author taunted us with Alex and Jace’s shenanigans that alluded to the possibly that these two were entangled in some type of relationship. I liked their characters in Endless, but I really fell in love with each of them in this book.

Jace is the scrumptious drummer that captured the Alex’s attention the first time she laid eyes on him; back when LTZ was an up and coming band. Jace and Alex spend unforgettable night together, but the timing isn’t right. Neither one are looking for a relationship as each of their lives are headed in different directions. What they didn’t expect was for that night to blossom into friendship. Leaving a huge imprint on each other’s hearts, their burgeoning feelings highlight the questions of “is this lust or love?“ and “can love can conquer all things?” Their’s an emotional journey and I enjoyed not only witnessing the evolution of Alex and Jace’s relationship, but also experiencing the band’s history and gaining popularity to ultimate success. There are a lot of ups and downs full of angst, intense chemistry (with some really hot scenes!), and also deep-seated love. Their connection is intense - etching itself into the fiber of their beings.

Jace is an immensely talented drummer and social media guru that helped catapult LTZ to super stardom. He is a steadfast friend and admirably loyal to his bandmates. He is the steady one. The calm one. The voice of reason. Yet what happens when his life is thrown into a tailspin? I am already staking claim that he is my book boyfriend as this romantic and caring man stole my heart. Alex is a gorgeous, alluring, independent, and vibrant woman who has this magnetic personality. I positively adored her and she is the type of person that I would love to have in my corner. Both are kind hearted souls with big dreams and ambitions and it was no wonder these two were drawn towards each other.

I would be remiss if I did not mention the secondary characters in this novel. Getting to learn more about the band members was very entertaining and I enjoyed the camaraderie amongst them. Limitless is, in theory, a standalone novel, but some of the storyline runs along the same timeline as Endless. This gives a fun and unique view into Ty and Zoey, but won’t necessarily spoil Endless if you have yet to read it.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this angsty, emotional, and very HOT rockstar romance. The writing is brilliant, the story is interesting, and the characters are likable. I voluntarily read an early version of this book. All thoughts are entirely my own.

Jace’s skills both as a drummer and when it comes to publicity have helped him and his bandmates rise from a rising star to stardom but there has always been someone in the background supporting him even if they have kept their relationship and feelings for each other private.

Alex met Jace when she was a teenager and after one steamy encounter, they realized that one night was not enough. She has plans for the future so as much as she is drawn to Jace she isn’t about to put her dreams on hold so that he can follow his but that doesn’t mean she can walk away either.

Their journey spans almost a decade and is filled with emotion and mistakes but underneath it all is a strong bond that although tested never breaks until they can finally have the life they were destined to have. The narrators did a wonderful of bringing out the angst and the love that this couple shared.

Loved It!!

I just found a new author to follow who knows how to write rock romance books!! Jace is the drummer for LTZ which is an up and coming band and that’s when Alex first drawn to Jace. I have to say that this book took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions from swooning to laughing to crying. Even though these two are so drawn to each other it was never the right time in their busy lives. You have to go along for a crazy ride with these two and see if their timing ever works out.

I’m going back to read Endless which is the first book in this series and I cannot wait to see what’s next for this new rock romance author.

Limitless is the second book in the Less Than Zero series and my first Kaylene Winter novel. The story spans about 9years and will have you consumed with Jace and Alex. It takes us on an emotional rollercoaster ride as we experience their dreams and insecurities and them finding themselves and each other. You will be rooting for these two hoping they see what's right in front of them. Additionally I loved that we got to learn more about the band members. These secondary characters were highly entertaining and I loved their friendship and camaraderie. This novel was well-written and filled with secrets and angst, intense chemistry, steamy scenes, witty banter, humor, longing and love. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to lovers of rockstar romance.

Jace is a great guy taking care of everyone else but himself. When he finally gives in to Alex he doesn’t realize it yet but it’s the best he’s ever done for himself. The love between these two was right there they just had to get out of each other’s way!!! I love this series and I love this author this and everything I’ve read by her is on point with NO disappoint!!!!

This book grabbed my attention from the very first page with its storyline set in the rockstar world and a romance between two very different people who are oh so right together. Issues related to the band, as seen in the previous book in this series, run parallel to the action here and have me wanting to go back and read that book even though this installment stands strongly on its own. It had the bandmates bonding as a family, trying to support each other through each doubt while gaining the fame they desperately want. The rocky road for the band seen there, along with the emotional speed bumps here, ultimately made this a story that kept me on the edge of my seat while playing with my heartstrings in a richly rewarding journey to HEA for everyone.

Jace Devereaux met Alex when they were still trying to find their place in the world, young and on the cusp of something big. They were both hungry for something more...as well as feeling an instant attraction brewing between them. An unforgettable bond was forged between them one night but from that moment on their dreams came first with clandestine hook-ups bringing them together from time to time. It soon becomes clear though that they want more from each other and readers get to see just how important they are to one another in a journey full of angst, tough decisions, and sizzling chemistry. Jace is a delicious hero, a smart and sexy drummer with talent to burn. He's a driving force for the band behind the scenes, and is content to stay in the background too. He's steady and sure, loyal and kind to others, a strong support to his bandmates through all the ups and downs bands experience. He and Alex were a delight with their playful friendship, scorching and secretive couplings, and a connection teeming with sexual tension from the moment they first met. I was captivated by all they went through to be together, the joys and fears as they never wanted to lose themselves by being a couple, they just wanted each other in a journey that had me cheering by the turn of the final page.

Alex LeRoux is a wonderful heroine, strong-willed but kind and compassionate, laser focused from a young age to take the media world by storm while rescuing every animal along the way. She finds someone equally ambitious in Jace, as well as a combustible attraction. She clearly wants him from the moment she meets him, but in order to achieve her dreams a real relationship will just have to wait. Years of secret meetups and erotically-charged messages soon aren't enough though...and that's when things become REALLY difficult for these friends to become lovers as they need to learn how to juggle work with play with obligations to others as well as obligations to themselves. Fate may have brought them together but fame might very well keep them from HEA unless they can figure out how to make it all work. Theirs is a rocky journey, fun and flirty early on before turning more serious through heartfelt emotions and drama from the outside.

Though this is only Ms. Winter's second book, I'm impressed by how well-paced it is along with how realistically it's depicted. Readers get an in-depth tour of the rockstar world with all the backstage drama as well as all the sexy and glamorous times the band finds themselves in. Jace and Alex's secret meetings were like an oasis for them, a time to block out everything else and just be with each other. I loved their scenes together as they made me laugh, cry, and put a smile and a blush on my face. The issues they dealt with along the way played on every one of my emotions and had me rooting for them every step of the way. Along with this enjoyable main couple, readers got to again see Tyler and Zoey (and see everything Ty went through in the last book from a different perspective here) and their captivating romance. Add in fellow bandmates Zane and Connor and I was absolutely in heaven as the boys of LTZ utterly charmed me with their sexy looks and decadently delightful personalities. On a whole there's much to love about this book and its characters, a sexy and emotional rollercoaster ride to HEA, and I'm now left counting down the days until Connor takes center stage next!

In the second book of her Less Than Zero series, Limitless, Kaylene Winter takes an introspective look into the hearts and minds of two people struggling to find the moment when their stars permanently align.

Limitless was a story of timing and growth. Meeting at a juncture in their lives where their maturity and life experiences were not comparable Jace and Alex went their separate ways only to find themselves drawn together over the years forming a connection built on their mutual attraction but more significantly their mutual respect. With steamy interludes punctuating the evolution of this relationship over time it was easy to fall into the emotions of these portrayals as they battled timing and circumstances to be together. Intimate and engaging dialog made Jace and Alex's interactions more than an occasional hookup and the friendship that developed between this couple proved to be as complicated as it was caring. There was often a bittersweet quality to this pairs' meetings as life threw hurdles that kept them apart.

Jace put on a charming lighthearted front but underneath that front lived a man of substance. His intelligence and his taking on more than his fair share of responsibility spoke to the truth of who he really was. Alex was a free spirit but that did not mean she disregarded her own responsibilities and goals. Both Jace and Alex were achievers and recognized in each other a kindred spirit as well as the importance of fulfilling their personal dreams. The support and encouragement they gave each other was admirable, giving them an intensity that went far beyond the casual label they pretended to have. The physical chemistry between Jace and Alex was scorching! When this couple finally caved to their love their growing pains and miscommunications blew up the pages for some tumultuous twist and turns. Far from perfect this pair made mistakes but always found their way back to each other. This author made sure to convey that while the timing may not have always been right Jace and Alex were right for each other and worth the commitment in the long haul.

When an author has a tremendous debut the question that lurks in the back of readers' minds is whether they are a one hit wonder or only just starting to show their true potential. In the case of Kaylene Winter's second book, Limitless, she exceeded expectations. This author showed extraordinary talent with lots of promise in her sensitive writing and charismatic portrayals. With a strong connection to her stories and lots of thoughtful moments she successfully bridged these traits to her audience. Limitless is a good indicator of this author's future as a writer!

I received Limitless in exchange for an honest review. I went into this book blind. I didn't read Endless which is book 1 in the Less Than Zero Rockstar world. I feel like reading Endless would have definitely enhanced my reading experience because it's easy to see these books take place during the same timeline. However, I must say I still was able to thoroughly enjoy reading Limitless.

Limitless follows LTZ drummer Jace Devereaux and Alexandria LeRoux. The story begins in the present in the thick of some current drama. Then it jumps back almost nine years into the past to show everything that has lead up to the current situation. At first it completely threw me off, but as the book continued I appreciated why it was done.

Alex and Jace meet when she's eighteen and he's twenty-three. She and her best friend, Zoey, have made a pact to hook some rockers to lose their virginity to before their next phase of life. They attend a Less Than Zero show and set their sights on their favorite rockstars. Zoey seems to have more luck than Alex at first as Jace does his best to keep Alex firmly in the friendzone.

Alex has big plans to travel the world as a social media influencer after her high school graduation. Her plans don't include the complication of a new relationship. Jace is about to embark on the band's first world tour. Neither one is interested in anything serious. As time ticks away they're both ready to start this next step when Alex gives Jace an offer he can't refuse. Her first time was epic by the way. Totally a must read. SUPER HOT scene.

The years begin to pass. Jace and Alex manage to fly under their friends' radars and have flings across the world. They mostly succeed at maintaining their friendship, but their chemistry is so strong they can't help but want more. Unfortunately, their timing doesn't seem to be right.

"Part of me wishes we were both in different places in our lives...."

"Who knows, maybe someday our timing will be right..."

Eventually, it seems as if their timing is finally right. Until a blast from the past threatens to blow their chance at happiness apart. Things begin to unravel. Kaylene Winters was able to effectively capture the character's emotions. I'm glad to say I was able to feel their pain.

Once Jace and Alex worked their way through this gigantic complication they finally got their happily ever after. These two worked so hard throughout the nine year time span of Limitless. Both of them had a lot to learn. A lot of growing to do. Alex was a strong female character who always knew what she wanted, and wasn't afraid to say it or show it. Finally, the epilogue contains a HUGE twist. Unexpected, but immensely satisfying ending. Ya'll go read this book!

This is the first book I've read by this author, and since I'm such a sucker for a rockstar romance, i couldn't wait to read this one! And while this is a really beautiful book, there were just some things I wish were done differently.

So Alex and Jace met when she just graduated high school, with her at 18 and him being 23. From the very beginning they have an unbridled connection, but neither of them wants a serious relationship, especially since they are at very two different places in their lives. Jace is just about to go on his first world tour with his band, while Alex is a social media influencer who wants to see as much of the world she can. But they can't ignore the pull between each other, and over the next nine years they embark on an on again/off again fling -- all the while without letting their respective best friends know. They love each other something fierce, and you can definitely *feel* all of their emotions leaping off the page, but they constantly skirt around other people's feelings rather than focusing on what's really important.

What really bugged me is that these two never really talked about their issues or really the important things I'm their lives, which is course blew back up on them in big way every single time. And they let other people dictate how they should feel about one another. I get respecting your friends opinions, but life is too damn short to keep holding yourself back from what makes you really want to be alive. But when they do finally get over all their hurdles and are together in all the ways they should have been all these years? Oh my goodness I couldn't help the tears. These are two people who really fought to get their happy ever after, and I'm so happy with the way things turned out!

I think my main struggle to at the beginning was that I didn't read the first book in the series, so I was sort of lost at a few points. But thay being said, i will definitely be going back and reading this series from the beginning! If you're looking for an emotional rockstar romance this is for you!

**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions!**

This is an EXCELLENT Story ,I was so mesmerized by it and Kaylene Winters has truly Amazed me,and she has now gained a new fan.
Spanning over a time period of 9 years we experience the trials and tribulations of Jace and Alex's Love Story,which believe me will give you everything you want in an enthralling romance.There is drama,scandal,sexy times and emotion.
Jace is a gorgeous tattooed sexy drummer in a very successful band and Alex is a social media influencer and animal rights activist.They meet at the very beginning of Jace's Rockstar dreams the band is still unknown and Alex is just out of school and about to travel the world.They are attracted to eachother and become friendly then have one incredible night together before they part ways to live out their dreams.But that night is unforgettable and they keep in touch which is the very beginning of a very intense complicated relationship.
These two have more ups and downs than a Yo,yo...throughout the years they are on and off more times than I can count but always remain friends. Alex and Jace frustrated me so much at times and then made me swoon the next ,their chemistry was always something they could rely on no matter what....they were HOT, HOT, HOT.
I loved Jace and Alex when they were together and Happy and there is so much more to their story that unfolded slowly chapter by chapter I couldn't get enough.
Kaylene Winters's writing was so descriptive,I became totally lost within the pages,I thought that Kaylene projected a very realistic account of what it was like to be a famous Rockstar and the demands they face ,while secretly trying to hold down a relationship.
Kaylene also gave us Alex's side of the story of trying to live out her life and not compromise her dreams while loving a famous rockstar and how it made her feel being apart all the time etc.....Oh and that ending made me cry it was perfect.
This book is addicting and it is a must read for anyone who is a rockstar romance obsessive like me.
I absolutely loved it and cannot wait for more from this author.
I highly recommend it, 5 fabulous Stars.

📖 This is the second book in the LTZ series, and it’s definitely recommended to read Endless first! We do back in time and this runs parallel to what we saw in the first book. Alex is just graduating high school when her and her bestie, Zoey, meet the band. While Zoey is busy with Ty, Alex starts a little fling with Jace. They have an instant connection but know that they both have plans — Alex to focus on her social media influencer career and Jace to focus on the band. But they do see each other many times over the years, hooking up whenever they can, and only getting closer each time. Is it fate drawing them together or keeping them apart? This was another really enjoyable rockstar romance with angst and emotion. It was hard seeing us move backwards with respect to our first couple, but we know good things are coming for them!

🎧 CJ and Alexander were well cast as Alex and Jace. I’ve listened to CJ a number of times and she always does an impressive job! Her voice is a medium pitch female voice with a smooth timbre. She has a fairly natural cadence with natural sounding emotion, you can definitely feel the smile in her voice! Alexander has a medium to high pitch male voice with a slight gritty timbre. He showed some nice range with pitch and tone when speaking for side characters, really helping differentiate who is talking. He also did a solid job expressing emotion!

I go into a book looking forward to getting sucked in and not coming out until I have to. This book was able to suck me in. However it had a hard time keeping me there. I really enjoyed this book and the absolutely crazy roller coaster ride it took me on. The only downfall is that I felt like it dragged on. I felt as though it could have been shortened a bit and we would have still gotten the results.

This book spans years of hit and miss. Jace and Alex are both so in love with each other. However they let their dreams and their insecurities get in the way of them being together. And they never actually talk! Oh they talk about plenty but the big issues just keep getting skirted around or not talked through at all. I think the biggest thing that constantly bothered me was that they let the Ty and Zoey drama dictate their own happiness and that really irked me. Love your friends but don't let what happens to them affect your personal life as well.

This book was very well written and had me hanging on the edge wanting to constantly know what was next. It also kept my heart aching for Alex and Jace. I loved both characters and just wanted to see them happy. I just had a hard time focusing on both of them with everything else going on. This was the first book I read by this author and while I had some issues those issues won't stop me from continuing this series. I may even go back and read the first book. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*

This book spans years of hit and miss. The constant misconnections of Jace and Alex are the push and pull of the story. Their dreams and their insecurities are their biggest obstacles for them to be together. Plus for all their wanting they had never truly talked. A nagging point in the story is how they allowed their friends drama to get in their way. This added an air of immaturity to them.

This story seems to have a lot of background noise that caused some interference with the flow of the story. This was the first book I read by this author and over all it was a good read. It was just a few little things.

Limitless is the second book in the Less than Zero series and my first book by Kaylene Winter. I am completely in love with this story and the characters of Alex and Jace. The angst and the passion in this book drew me in from the first page and I had trouble putting this book down until I reached the last page.

This story spans eight to nine years. Alex is just graduating high school when she meets Jace. She has plans to travel the world and he’s a drummer in an up and coming rock band. They have an off and on relationship that spans years. They will have you rooting for them to figure everything out so they can finally be together.

Jace and Alex are constantly drawn back to each other over and over again. No matter what happens in their lives, fate brings them together again while outside forces continually pull them apart. I absolutely love a good, angst driven story and this one tore my heart out over and over again until it finally mended it at the end. These two are EVERYTHING….Passionate, intense, loyal and HOT!

I don’t think I can really do this book justice in a review. All I can say is you should read it. It’s fantastic and I absolutely loved it. Jace and Alex are epic!

I have become a big fan of Less Than Zero (LTZ). Limitless is Jace and Alex story and it is quite a story. They met each other at a concert by LTZ. The band was just starting out and Alex went to the concert with her best friend Zoey. When she met Jace they started out as friends. Soon they became friends with benefits. All of this was when the band was really taking off. The bigger they got the more they travelled. They were traveling all over the world. There was always something to keep them in the limelight.

Alex career as an internet influencer was also taking off and taking her all over the world. To see each other they really had to do some finagling. This went on for many years and they soon realized they were more than friends but didn't know how to manage this.

Alex and Jace story was one huge roller coaster ride after another. Neither of them was open and forthcoming to the other which caused problems. Insecurities also followed them both. They had much to overcome if they were to follow their hearts. It was a long rocky road but they made it. I loved every minute of their story and didn't want it to end. Now I am ready to immerse myself in the next book in the series: Fearless.

Limitless is the first story that I've read by Kaylene Winter, and as soon as I'm done writing this review, I'm going to go read Endless (Book 1) because WOW! This story is so amazing that I'm not willing to give any details away because y'all don't need to waste time reading reviews when you can just read the book. This talented author knows how to seamlessly weave together an emotional and fun read with a kicker of sexy perfectly.  The story is told in a dual POV between Jace (hot drummer in Less Than Zero) & Alex (a free spirit), who share a crazy connection but are on different paths in life. The moment I started this story, that was all she wrote since I didn't move an inch until every last page was inhaled.  I seriously CANNOT WAIT for the next book and I believe you'll feel the same way so hit those one click buttons!  HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Limitless is a stand alone in a series surrounding the band Less Than Zero. I hadn't read the first one but that didn't take away from my enjoyment of the story. If you like a steamy read this has it by the bucket load and drama! Drama drama drama it was like an episode of Jerry Springer 😂 i really liked Jace and Alex's story they have such a turbulent romance I never knew what was coming next. I liked that we got background on Ty and Zoeys relationship too as I haven't read that one it meant everything i was reading made sense. I definitely want to read Ty and Zoeys story now to get inside their heads and will look out for the rest of the series. A very enjoyable read

Limitless is a steamy romance between a drummer and a internet influencer that spreads over 9 years full of off & on moments. Jace & Alex form a great friendship and eventually a deep love but find themselves on different paths throughout the 9 years the story covers until they eventually get to a point in their lives that they both are ready to settle. Once this occurs though Jace is hit with a potential life changing delema that causes problems once again in their relationship. This is a steamy, angsty and drama filled read that keeps you turning the pages and losing sleep, but is so worth it.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. I love these story. I couldn't put the book down. Great characters that pull you into their stories. Jace and Alex have off the charts panty melting heat. The story flowed effortlessly with a few twists and turns that well keep you glued from start to finish. This story is suspense-filled and it has drama and will tug at your heart strings.

The story of Alex and Jace parallels the story of Zoey and Ty, especially at the beginning, although their relationship is different than theirs. While Zoey and Ty know from the beginning that they are soulmates, the relationship between Jace and Alex is more FWB type.
For years they meet in different places around the world, while he is on tour and she is an influencer dedicated to the care and rescue of animals.
As the years go by, their feelings grow but it seems they are never on the same page. Each goodbye is more painful, and although they both try to forget the other and move on, they always end up coming back together.
Jace is the one who has always taken care of all his band mates, he has been a fundamental support for Ty in his break up and in his recovery from his addictions, but Jace has always been closed and reserved when it comes to telling his friends what was happening in his life. He keeps his relationship with Alex in secret, and he starts to get tired, he wants to go public but it never seems the right time.
Whenever things seem to be going well between them, something happens that makes their relationship be in danger. Jace is afraid that Alex will leave him for good, Alex and him not have the same vision for their future about kids, A.ex doesn’t want to put his career aside to go with Jace every time he has a tour.
Also a drunken night in LA will affects Jace’s life, state of mind, and his relationship.
I’m ❤️ this stories although Ty is still my favorite, Jace has prove in this book being a sex rock God.


“If the only thing I did all day was watch your beautiful face when you come, I’d be a happy man,” I growled in her ear, suckling at her earlobe while her spasms subsided. The funny thing is, although I’d blurted the sentiment without thinking, I knew what I said was inherently true. Something had immediately shifted inside me when I saw her again at the party. This wasn’t just fun and games. It wasn’t just sex. I wanted her to be mine. I needed her to be mine. I’d never had such intense emotions. How can I make this happen?

It was clear that something had changed between us. We weren’t fucking, we were making love. Jace had always been caring and sweet, but both of us always remained a bit distant. Now, the way he looked at me seemed different. Loving. Reverential. Possessive. Content. Gawd, I knew it because I looked at him the same way. “Poppy,” he whispered and clasped my hand, bringing it to his lips and kissing it. My breath caught. “Yes?” “You’re so incredibly beautiful, and funny. And sexy.” He gulped almost nervously. “You have to know that I have feelings for you.” “I fell for you a long time ago, Jace.” I kissed his palm. Jace leaned over and kissed me. “I’m pretty sure that I love you.” “I’m pretty sure that I love you too,” I murmured against his lips.

“I don’t want this to end, Alex.” “I don’t either, but—” Her blue eyes seemed even bluer when illuminated by the water. “No buts.” “Jace, it’s not realistic.” Alex tried to squiggle away, but I kept her flush against me. “You’re already tied up for the next two years!” “You can come with me.” I pleaded. “Let’s out ourselves.” “I can’t just come with you.” Alex blew out a frustrated breath. “You know this. Don’t ask for something that isn’t even possible.” “Let me talk to management, at some point I need to be able to have a life.”“Jace, I don’t ever want this to be over.” “You don’t?” I gripped her tightly, wondering how Ty managed to ever get through five years of this heartbreak shit. “I’ll come home for a visit. I gave up my flat in Belfast, and I need to see my folks anyway. But we can’t go on like this.” She was firm. “I have my own life, my own stuff. I can’t put my own work on the back-burner like I have for the past few months, or my momentum will change.” “I’m sorry you made such a sacrifice to hang out with me.” I snarked. Was it really such a fucking hardship? “C’mon, don’t pick a fight tonight. I didn’t say that,” Alex soothed me. I realized that somehow our roles had reversed. “I’m just saying, don’t be the type of guy that expects his girl to drop everything she’s worked for.”

“Are you ready for me now?” Jace’s husky voice was tinged with passion. He touched his forehead to mine. “Yes.” I tenderly stroked his messy hair, smoothing it back as it flopped over his brow. “No.” Jace’s arms caged my upper body and his emerald eyes pierced my soul. “I don’t mean sex.”

“You know I don’t need to have kids, Alex.” Jace reached out and took my hand, avoiding my comment. “I want to make a life with you.” “I want that too, but you need to trust me.” I squeezed his hand, hopefully reassuringly. “You can’t be worried about doing or saying something that might break us up. If we’re going to be all-in, we need to be all-in. Kids or no kids.” “I’m all-in.” Jace gripped me tightly. “Alex, this is it. I’m not letting you go again. Promise me we are doing this.” “Of course we are doing this. It’s decided. No matter what.”

“This isn’t your problem to solve, Alex.” Jace was exasperated and strode toward the bedroom. “I’m trying to be nice, but when I say I need some time alone, I need some time alone. I can’t deal with you being upset on top of all of this shit, Alex.” Jace looked at me coldly with his backpack hanging off one shoulder. His words hurt. All I could see was my world exploding. At that moment, my feelings were shredded. I figured that he couldn’t leave me if I left him first. “Fine. Take all the time you need. No need for me to burden you with my presence in New York.” I hiccupped through tears, not really meaning it, but unable to stop my lips from flapping. “Are you serious? Fuck, Alex. That’s not what I meant, but fine. Best I know where you stand now,” Jace roared. I stared at him through my tears. “That took a lot less time than I expected.” “What do you mean?” “You bailing on me.”

“Wow.” I rotated my body so we were face-to-face. “I thought we were past our trust issues, but I guess we aren’t.” “Alex, you were traumatized when you thought you were pregnant.” Jace’s arms tightened around me. “I don’t think you realize how much you freaked out about having a baby. You were adamant that you didn’t ever want children. With me. You didn’t want my child if I’d be on the road. How could I ever expect you to change your mind? For a baby that isn’t yours?” “I’m not going to lie. The thought is terrifying.” I put my finger on his lips when he tried to interrupt. “But, I’m sure that you are just as terrified, if not more.” “I am.” “And I want to be with you, whatever that means.”

Liked book # 1 much more than this one.
Less Than Zero drummer, Jace, may have been the problem solver for the rest of the band but he was horrible when it came to his own issues.
Poor Alexandria didn't deserve to be treated like a ping-pong ball, to be hit out of the game, every time Jace had to face a difficult problem. Life is like that. Problems don't always ask when it is convenient to screw up your life. They just do it. And poor Alex paid the price.
Jace kept saying he loved Alex but his actions treated her like dirt.
